What is a miniature cow?  Why miniature cows?

Miniature cows are smaller cows that measure under 48 inches.  There are two classifications of miniature cows.  Cows under 42" are considered to be full miniatures.  Cows 42" to 48" are considered mid-sized miniatures.  There are many different breeds of miniature cows including dairy breeds and beef breeds.  Some breeds can be used for dual purpose- beef or dairy. 

Miniature cows are easier to handle than the full size cow.  They are easier on land, equipment, fences and facilities.  Miniatures are easy to raise on smaller acreage farms.  A farm can have more miniatures per acre than the full size cow.  Feed expenses are about 1/3 less.  For beef production the miniatures are 25% more efficient in feed conversion.  Miniature milkers can produce enough milk for your family.
